What started out as a bucket list trip for Cheryl and Paul Molesky of Syracuse, has turned into a 4-week quarantine nightmare.

"You can't order pizza,” said Cheryl. “You can't take a drive if you feel like it. You can't talk to your friends very easily. It's just all the little freedoms you take so for granted, we don't have here."

The quarantine started on the Diamond Princess Cruise ship.

It was supposed to end at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas after two weeks to make sure they don't have the coronavirus.

The Moleskys, along with 120 others, were excited to finally travel home Monday.

"But, things have changed,” said Cheryl. “We received a phone call that the government here in Texas does not want us to be released out into the population."

The San Antonio mayor declared a public health emergency, after the CDC released a woman from quarantine and then brought her back because of "weakly positive" test results.

He says the evacuees should remain at the base for more testing, which could mean another week.

"You just find out, and God your anxiety just went crazy,” said Paul. “Your whole life just changed in 20 seconds.”

The Moleskys say their two test results came back negative, and they haven't showed any symptoms.

"We understand there are things that they have to do to keep people safe,” said Cheryl. “But, at this point, we're feeling like it may be, they're illegally holding us beyond our quarantine period. I don't think this period is fair. We agreed to the 14 days to keep our community safe and that's where all the research and data lies. So, let us go home."

Congressman Chip Roy's spokesperson said Texas officials met with the CDC, and the CDC cannot legally hold these people beyond the federally mandated quarantine.

The CDC has yet to respond.
